My friend and I are starting a backyard federation (we are partly training) and I was just checking out how much gear costs. Quite an interesting read actually, take a look. Also, all of the rings and cages etc are the cheapest model.
16' Wrestling Ring Standard Package = £2281.37
However, if you buy the parts seperately...
Deluxe Wrestling Ring Frame = £1983.06
Wrestling Ring Aprons = £175.491
Wrestling Ring Heavy Canvas = £245.688
Wrestling Ring Metal Turnbuckles = £10.4944
Wrestling Ring Padding = £421.181
Wrestling Ring Ropes = £315.889
Wrestling Ring Steel Cage = £1052.96
Wrestling Ring Turnbuckle Pads = £105.298
Interesting eh? Too many clothes to go through, so that should do for a bit.

The cheapest and easiest way to build a quality, 14'x14' ring is simple. Buy four 6x6x12 posts from a hardware store. Dig four holes four feet deep and put the posts in each hole, then cover it up with dirt. Go to a local junkyard, get as many old tires as you can. Stack them two or three tires high leaving no empty space. While you're at the junkyard, get as much foam, padding, and carpet as you can. Go to a hardware store or somewhere and buy a 14x14 piece of plywood to cover the tires. Place the foam or any other type of padding you have over the plywood. Go back to your hardware store to buy twelve i-hooks, twelve turnbuckles, three big cables, and enough rope to go around the whole ring three times. Put the i-hooks into the poles, put the turnbuckles into the i-hooks, run rope from turnbuckle to turnbuckle, and then when the rope goes around the whole ring, clamp them together with the cable clamps. Tighten the turnbuckles and you have a good quality ring.
I probably won't be able to get much of that. There isn't very much trouble here, its not as bad as most people think but there are some feuds, nothing to serious though. I've been looking to start wrestlnig for ages but I can never seem to find anyone to wrestle. I'm gonna buy a load of tables and stuff soon, i'm into the hardcore element fairly deeply. I'm not totally insane though and would'nt lite myself or anything, just some fairly dangerous stunts.

I live in Essex, about 2 hours from London. Northern Ireland eh? Is your area trouble? What do you mean by "i'll probably not be able to get any of this stuff cause i've been looking to start wrestling for a while"? Ihooks are the things that connect the ring posts to the ropes.

Just go to any good search engine and type in "Wrestling Gear" and you should get rings, masks, boots etc. Sorry, my dad restored the computer yesterday and I can't remember the URL! I'm self-constructing my ring with poles, tires etc. Here's the plan:

what ever you do,dont do any high flying moves.
Yer i say you should just jion a club run my trained profesionals, and dont do any hardcore matches, no chairs or nothing.
A 16-year-old Volusia County boy is in stable condition Friday after a backyard wrestling stunt went wrong. YahooNews posted the following story:
The teen suffered second-degree burns on his chest and waist when his friend put rubbing alcohol on his clothes and ignited it. The unidentified victim is expected to be OK.
The accident happened at 561 E. Euclid Ave. in DeLand, and the entire incident was caught on tape.
The group of teenagers said that they often wrestle in each other's back yards after school, mimicking professional wrestlers and hard-core matches.
"There's only been a couple times that people probably broke their arms and stuff, got stitches or whatever, but that's about it. Nothing like this. Nothing where someone got burned and was in the hospital," said Brian Bates, the victim's brother.
Bates said the accident should have never happened.
"(My brother) said 'Don't,' and the dude did it anyway," Bates said. "They throw the alcohol on you, and then they put you on fire."
The videotape shows the victim calling for a timeout, but instead of stopping, someone hit him with a chair.
"We lit his leg and he got kind of scared," Joey Rousseau said. "I wish I wouldn't have done it."
The victim rolled 10 times before the flames were put out, according to his brother.
Rousseau could face criminal charges.
The teens said they have been backyard wrestling for months. But after the incident, they said they won't be wrestling anymore
